They talk telepathically&#8211;Vic hears Blood&#8217;s voice in his mind and talks aloud back to him. Eventually they meet Quilla June Holmes (Susanne Benton) who&#8217;s from an underground city called Topeka. She urges him to come down with her but Blood senses there is something wrong&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>This is extremely low budget but not bad. The conversations between Vic and Blood are hilarious (and Blood&#8217;s face and movements totally match the dialogue). Love the bit when Blood asks Vic to name the presidents (remember, this came out in 1975). He responds &#8220;Nixon, Kennedy, Kennedy, Kennedy&#8230;&#8221; When they meet Quilla (about an hour in) the film falls apart. The sequences down under are, at first, scary but get quickly repetitious. But it leads up to a twist ending which is great.<\/p>\n<p>This was issued in 1975 with a horribly exploitive ad campaign. It showed a woman lying down on the ground. You don&#8217;t see her face&#8211;just her body and all she&#8217;s wearing is a shirt and covering her breasts and other parts. Blood has a paw on her and a proud look on his face and Vic is standing beside him holding a gun! The implication is obvious and the rape aspect of this bothered a lot of people. It was reissued in the early 80s (that&#8217;s when I saw it) with a totally different ad campaign. I understand why people are upset with the rape theme but this is a science-fiction fantasy&#8211;don&#8217;t take this too seriously.<\/p>\n<p>The acting is good. Johnson was, surprisingly, dead perfect as Vic. Tiger was great:) Benton also is pretty good and Jason Robards pops up late in the proceedings.<\/p>\n<div class=\"syndication-links\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After WW III Vic (Don Johnson) and his dog Blood (played by Tiger from &#8220;The Brady Bunch&#8221; TV show) travel around looking for women for Vic to rape and food for Blood.
